As the Junior showcase tournament is wrapping up, more exciting news have been announced from Henry Eagles camp. Henry, has been selected to participate in the World Junior Championship, representing Team World.

There was a shock in the Eagle's camp when the roster was announced, as Henry was not expecting to participate in the WJC this year due to only having played a few games in the VHLM and a few games in the showcase. Whatever Henry has shown in that limited amount of time must have impressed Team World scouts as they were very keen on making Henry a part of Team World.

 

"It was definately suprising getting the call but I definately accepted right away. It's an honor to represent your country and I would never turn down an opportunity like this " said Henry " I have been training hard and it seems to be paying off. First the Junior Showcase and now the World Junior Championships. I couldn't have asked for anything more during my new start in the VHLM."

 

Henry has been playing really well since entering the VHLM and everyone is taking notice. His first 16 games in the VHLM, Henry put up 32 points. In the playoffs he put up 5 points in 4 games and so far in the Junior Showcase Playoffs Henry has 9 points in 7 games. So far at every level he has played at, Henry has been showcasing his great offensive skill and awareness. Defenders are having trouble shutting him down and he hopes he can continue this in the World Junior Championships.

 

" I know teams are starting to watch video and try to create plays to shut me down but I haven't shown the league everything yet " Henry says " I have more tricks up my sleeve and those will start to show during this tournament. I am very excited to get going and can't wait for this tournament to start. Hopefully I can wrap up the Junior Showcase finals by next game and win that championship so then that I can go and join up with Team World"

The VHL scouts have been giving positive opinions on this promising prospect and they are all surprised how he continues to dominate the offensive game. The scouts have all said that this could be the next VHL superstar if he continues playing the way he does. A good showing in the WJC can help further cement that opinion.

 

"He has all the skills necessary to complete at the big level, as long as he continues training and playing at the top of his game there is no doubt in my mind he will be a super-star in the league" A VHL scout said "I would be shocked if Henry didnt go top 3 in the VHL draft in S85, he is one of the top players in that draft class and for teams looking for a player to build around....he is that. He is a Franchise changing player and he is showing everyone why he is in these tournaments"
